Wow, Pokemon Moon's villain looks great.
(I hope my Pokedex doesn't talk to me nonstop like Joey and his Rattata)
Also, guys, it's pretty clear from Lillie's general character design and stance that she is a tsundere. Tsundere characters are known to be hostile and flustered easily, but in general good-natured so I'd doubt that she's part of the evil team from just her facial expression alone.
Plus, as a general observation, judging from the fact that there is a male character who is about your age and a female character who is also about your age, it seems to me that there might be romance paths in this story like in BW2. Hopefully it won't be as difficult as BW2's romance path, 'cause like, holy heck lady you work a lot.

I like the new paint strokes that appear during a battle. It gives it just a little extra bizaas which I really like. And also it annoyed so much how people really believed that kukui was an assistant rather than the actual professor. Like he was the one wearing the coat. There was no way that he wasn't gonna be the new professor
We have wonder guard
Anyways, I like the typing of Solgaleo. Did not expect that! Rotomdex looks awesome too. I like this a lot. Can't wait for release
Solgaleo the sun pokemon. Weak to Fire..
From the official site:
Yeah, I get what you feel. Has all these sun related associations from its mane to its signature move, and even likes to eat the sun, yet its weak to Fire. Makes a lot of sense, right? According to GF, it does.
Gamefreak logic at its best.
I hope you can use amiibo because i already have mewtwo and charizard
Like Luke, the son of Apallo, from Percy Jackson
Haha, it's the exact opposite for me, I was about to fall asleep before one of my favorite Pokemon appeared in a new form.
They should have revealed normal Pokemon in the region already. I still don't have a feel down (unlike in X and Y when the starters and first trailer were enough to get me psyched).
I just opened the news post and the first thing I saw was Solgaleo's type...
...
I stared at the screen for like 5 minutes in disbelief just asking:
...And now all I can think is:
"The lion, mascot of Pokémon Sun is NOT a Fire-type (part-Fire at least)??? Screw this!"
Seriously, I looked at Solgaleo and told it (as if it could hear me): "**** off!". I don't want this lion anymore...
To top it off, they decided to give Lunala, a mascot legendary, just one of the worst defensive types ever with two x4 weaknesses, as Hoopa Confined can confirm you...
This gen's pokémon are going downhill so fast, it's not even funny...
My only hope is that Zygarde Complete forme is not an anime-exclusive thing and we can obtain it in these games...
Sorry for the rant, but I had to get this out...

I just saw a video from shofu and he had an interesting thought about their abilities cause they're the exact same as ones we already have but what if they have a secondary thing to them like what if solgaleos stats don't drop when burned or paralyzed and maybe lunalas abilty, while he didn't have an idea what it could be if it had a sort of secondary effect, also had an effect on super effective type moves to help it out cause of its poor typing. I mean these ideas seem pretty cool and it would then mean that Pokemon saying they're never before seen be an actual fact
Wait, I only now noticed that snowy mountain with the pokemon centre. Are they seriously going for another ice type gym leader in a region based on Hawaii? If they do, it better not be the seventh one you face and it better not have a sliding gym puzzle. This is a perfect region for them to try types that are rather underrepresented when it comes to gym leaders like poison, ghost or dark. I guess it's too early to tell.

I got to be honest. I did exactly the same thing you just did. Even, heck, the entire Fanbase never predicted this type, like ever, no one. Ghost type for Lunala was given....but Solgaleo's...no. And the info around it is just all types of contradictory. And Sunsteel strike is totally not "a Fire type" move, nope. Not according to GF.
Like I said, Gamefreak logic at its best. Best hope those signature moves are dual type moves, because it appears, as I have read about the Professor, he studies Pokémon Moves. Dual type moves, or moves with extra type advantages seem to get a better focus, but that is just a guess of mine.
I'm really really glad they're reusing old pokemon (Rotom, he is under appreciated IMO) and not creating stupid new ones for stuff like this. It makes the world feel more connected IMO
Anyone else find it ironic that the Pokemon of the sun is x2 weak against fire it being a psychic/steel type and the Pokemon of the moon is x4 weak against dark, it being a psychic/ghost type.
Can't wait for Metagross: The box mascot!
Maybe this gen will finally introduce a big fat amount of new moves..
It also got me thinking.. gen 6 brought us Mega evoulutions, which boost the stats and often change types and abilities. So what can they do now? A new mechanic (maybe called break evolution lol) that allows the new form to use more than 4 moves. As with mega Pokemon, such a new feature will be restricted to 1 per team. I think that would be intersting for a valid alternative for Mega evolution when choosing your team in a competitive battle.
